How it works

A cut at Camp Ave.

No app, no booking page, no waiting list. The way a barbershop is supposed to work.

1

Walk in

No appointment — ever. Come by early, come by on a Sunday, come by after work. If there’s a short wait, the bench out front has your name on it.

2

Take a seat

Grab a chair along the mirror wall, catch whatever’s on the TV, and you’re up before the coffee cools.

3

Talk it through

Tell your barber what you want — or just say “the usual.” Regulars swear the shop remembers your cut months later.

4

The cut

Ruben takes his time. Fades blended slow, scissor work done right, kids treated with extra patience. You never feel rushed.

5

Walk out sharp

Clean lines, a fresh look, and change left over from what other shops charge. See you in a few weeks.

Behind the chairs

Your barbers.

A family shop — two chairs you can trust.

Julia and Reuban are amazing stylists! And barber! My entire family goes, I’m a woman and go too! They know exactly what to do every time!!! So glad I found Camp Ave Barber. They do all kinds of hair cuts- long, short, buzz etc. just ask, that’s why we all go there.

Great people, great place for a haircut! There's a bunch of places in Merrick that I've tried out, but I find myself always coming back to this place. Julia is amazing, and the only person who would cut my hair. I highly recommend this place, five stars!

What a great Barber Shop right here in Merrick Rubin is a terrific barber, friendly, engaging and does a great cut. Importantly it’s reasonably priced.The shop is right on Camp Ave next to the elementary school. It’s worth the turn off of Merrick Ave for a great cut. You won’t be sorry
